Havent played the game for a while, know some things done changed etc Anyway i want to ask U guys if its normal to not get even one gold drop after 50 runs? The only golds re these dumb scrolls from krogg smush boss and thats it. Its still kinda profitable farmin them- about 1k a run + troll tusks/collector items income but still they should drop some better items

Yeah, that's a VERY normal thing. They nerfed troll drops forever ago. Most you'll ever get is probably a decent mod on a Purple or Blue.

Well, for Gold DROPS, none that I can think of. For Merchant Gold and a decent amount of time for a 5k run it's Hydras.

I've had my fair share of gold drops in the past while troll farming (wether it was power leveling or what ever)
I did get a 10/10 req 9 fire magic raven staff, still have it actually, looking to sell it lol.
I've had quite a lot of crappy golds, like a few fellblades and stuff.
Got a black dye once too =D

Imo the best and quickest farm is Shro'ken farming, done by a mo/me or a me/mo

Yeah troll farming isn't supposed to be about gold drops. It's supposed to be about the sheer amount of items (in which case, gold) you can amount in an hour compaired to another type of farming.

It's not really about gold drops. When I do my troll runs, 3/4's of the time if there's a gold drop it's from an avicara/tundra giant not a troll.

You could take out the word gold in the thread title and I still wouldn't be suprised.

Trolls have always and will always drop crap. The golds they drop, have always and will always be 99% crap. I've been farming them on and off for a long time, and I mostly do it to test solo builds now, never thought it was any good to make some decent $$... Just go solo UW or FoW, you'll make more money...

lol if you can't find a warrior troll farming build you've basically never looked at this forum. Go to the solo farming post at the top of this forum, there's a ton of different troll farming builds.

For me when i troll farm, i usually take with me a few Identification Kit (any that contains alot)... You might be asking WTF???

The reason is, if you want to make money, just identify EVERYTHING, as in EVERYTHING including the white ones, if they are max, each sell for 100-150 gold, when you identify the white ones, theyre value goes up! Dont believe me, dont identify them and go to a merchant, there when your going to sell he/she gives a certain value, if its a max item you got, they'll buy it for 50gold, identify it, and they'll buy it for 100 gold or so!

w/e its just a tip im giving, hope it helps, if not well then dismiss everything i just wrote!

If you hit the troll cave as a 605 monk, continue on up to the Tundra Giants,
I get far more gold drops from them versus the trolls, don't know if 55 monk
will work, I like the 605 build better, seems like the drops are mostly white
now, but I did get a very nice gold fellblade and war hammer out of the chests in the cave.

Weird, whenever I do trolls with my 55, I tend to get 1 gold like ever 3-5 runs, easily. They, of course, are horrible.. I usually get warhammers and shields, all of which are high req or bad mods.

Hmmm... either its bad luck for u guys, or just really good luck for me. I farm trolls like twice a day and then i do other stuff, but i get gold like once every day lol. Sure they may be crappy, but o well ,they are still golds =P xD
Although, yesterday when i farmed trolls, i got a gold with a +30hp sword mod and sold it for around 50k =D

I rotate farming Grawls, Trolls, Hydras and Tundra Giants with my 55 when I'm bored and watching TV, interspersed with the odd mission to keep drop quality up. Rit farming all over Cantha is far more fun tho'

trolls drop the worst, but 55ing is probaly the worst farming ever, only effecient way of making money imo with 55 is doing the 2 man uw solo, anywhere else, good luck

I tried farming Grawl for my first-time as a "55" yesterday, those guys are tricky,
I could get a few of them but then either run out of energy or get an enchantment
stripped and die to quick, any tips on these???
On the other hand the Blessed Griffons were a piece of cake, I even took on a Herertic
with the Griffons and won!!!!!!!!!!
